One month after Andy Warhol‘s 200 One Dollar Bills sells for $43.8 million at auction, The Economist has reported that his Eight Elvises painting sold privately for $100 million– a number that only Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Willem De Kooning and Gustav Klimt has achieved for a single sale. It is a unique piece and measures 12 feet.

With one of the most vibrant markets of any artist, Warhol continues to be as relevant as he’s ever been. This particular painting merges the most popular aspects of Andy Warhol and his fascinations. It has fame – the subject is Elvis Presley, one of the most famous American icons. It demonstrates the repetition of imagery. The painting is done silver, his favorite color. The threat of death is implied through the pointing of the gun at the viewer. Finally, it is from 1963, a vintage Warhol year.

The previous owner, Annibale Berlingieri, a Roman collector, had the piece for 40 years. The painting was sold in the autumn of 2008 in a deal brokered by Philippe Ségalot. It is unknown who the new owner is, but it is safe to say that they are probably very rich and lucky.

Elvis Presley remains the most bankable Warhol subject, by far. Starting with “Red Elvis” which sold in 2000, at a US auction, for US$2.9m, then “Elvis 1 and 2″ sold in the UK, in 2005 for US$3.7m, then “Double Elvis” in 2012 sold at Sotheby’s, for US$37.5m, followed by “Triple Elvis” which sold at Christie’s for for US$81.9 in 2014 and this, the mother of all Warhol Elvis-themed silkscreens, “Eight Elvises” for 100 million, in 2008, all of which totalling, just for these 5 (another 39 Elvis Warhol silkscreens exist) the astronomical sum of US$226 million, The second of his subjects, in terms of drawing power when at auction, or provately, being Marilyn Monroe, coming in at alittle over US$118.2m.
